On August 9, 1849, the 5th Army and the 25th Infantry Army of the Imperial Army attacked Kuzhan. The 3rd Cavalry Army and the 4th Cavalry Army would cut off the connection between Kuzhan and the outside. Although there were more than 200,000 troops in Kuzhan City at this time, the army of the Kokhan Khanate was still unable to resist in the face of the fierce attack from the Imperial Army.

Hundreds of cannons violently bombarded Khuzhan, which completely turned the originally prosperous city into ruins. The army of the Kokhan Khan in the city suffered heavy losses. Most of the defenders of the Kokhan Khan in the city were recruited recruits and were sent to the battlefield without any training. Faced with the Chinese army armed to the teeth, they could only use their bodies to resist. The final result was that they were shot and killed one by one.

"Commander, the 5th Brigade and the 23rd Brigade have already attacked Khumhan from the southwest. The defenders of the Kokhan Khanate in the city are still resisting." A staff officer reported to Lieutenant General Zhao Mingfu.

"Let the four border infantry brigades be prepared and put them on the battlefield in half an hour to expand the results!" Lieutenant General Zhao Mingfu gave the order calmly.

"Yes, General!" The staff officer nodded, turned around and gave orders.

Although the border infantry brigade was not established for a long time and did not train for a long time, their equipment was exactly the same as the regular army of the Imperial Army. Even if the combat power was not comparable to that of the regular army of the Imperial Army, there was no problem in dealing with the army of the Kokhan Khanate composed of a group of mobs.

Although more and more troops attacked Khumhan, the defenders of the Kokhan Khanate could not resist the attack of the imperial army. More and more troops of the Kokhan Khanate surrendered to the Imperial Army after losing hope of victory.

The Battle of Khumhan lasted for a full week. When the battle ended, the defenders of the Kokhan Khanate in the city were almost wiped out. Only a very small number of troops rushed out of the encirclement of the Imperial Army and fled. The Imperial Army also suffered a lot of losses in the battle to attack Khumhan. Especially several border infantry brigades, they lost a lot of troops. But overall, the battle still ended with the complete victory of the Empire.

When the Northern Army of the Imperial Army captured Kuzhan and opened the door to the Fergana Basin, the Southern Army of the Imperial Army of the Imperial Army had crossed the mountains and ridges in the eastern part of the Fergana Basin and entered from the eastern part of the basin. It captured Uzgen, Osh and other places in the eastern part of the basin. It marched from the eastern part of the basin to Kokhan.

At this moment, the main army of the Kokhan Khanate had been eliminated, and even the troops they re-sponsored had lost all in the war. The Great Mullah Alimukur of the Kokhan Khanate called on the people of the Kokhan Khanate to resist the invasion of the Chinese army. However, under the strong suppression of the Chinese army, anyone who dared to resist was killed. The rule of the Kokhan Khanate had collapsed in the area.

On August 18, 1849, the Northern and Southern Army of the 2nd Army of the Imperial Army met in Kokand. Two armies surrounded Kokand. At this moment, there were more than 100,000 temporary troops in Kokand. However, these troops were still without any combat effectiveness, just like the troops that were previously destroyed by the Imperial Army. They were surrounded by the Imperial Army, and their fighting spirit was sluggish. If it were not for the officers' restraining and suppression, the Imperial Army might have collapsed.

On August 19, the 2nd Army of the Imperial Army launched a fierce attack on Kokhan. As the capital of the Khanate of Kokhan, it is the most prosperous city in the entire Fergana Basin. However, the solid city walls still cannot withstand the attack of the Imperial Army. In the afternoon of the same day, Kokhan City was captured. The Imperial Army attacked the city, and the resistance of the Khanate of Kokhan was not fierce, allowing the Imperial Army to advance quickly. Before sunset, many important places in Kokhan City fell into the control of the Imperial Army.

That night, Alimukur, the great mullah of the Kokhan Khan who realized that there was no hope, raised a fire in the mosque in the city, ending his life. Before committing suicide, Alimukur was unwilling to easily occupy the Kokhan Khan Khan, which shows his resentment towards the empire.

However, Alimukur was completely overthinking... In the empire's plan, the Khanate of the Kokhanate will be annexed. Therefore, a Khan of the Kokhanate should not exist. The empire will not let him go. Alimukur did this, but instead cleared the obstacles for the empire.

The powerful Khanate, the most powerful of the three Khanate in Central Asia, was easily destroyed by the empire, which caused a stir in the entire Central Asia and surrounding areas. The two remaining Khanate in Central Asia, the Bukhara Khanate and the Shiva Khanate, were even more frightened. They were afraid that the empire would attack them after the Khanate of the Khanate. After all, even the Khanate was not an opponent of the Chinese Empire, and it was destroyed in less than two months. The strength of the two countries could not be compared with the Khanate of the Khanate of the Khanate, and it would be even more impossible to resist the invasion of the Chinese Empire.

Britain and Russia formally protested against the Empire about the destruction of the Kokhan Khanate of the Chinese Empire and the destruction of Central Asia. However, the Empire didn't care about this at all. In the Empire's future plan, the entire Central Asia needs to be controlled. Only in this way can we occupy a favorable situation in future wars. After the Empire occupied Central Asia, it could attack Russia's hinterland to the west, and to the south, it could threaten India, an important British colony, and to the southwest, it was the Persian Gulf, the energy center of later generations.

The empire will not give up its invasion plan against Central Asia because of the protests from Britain and Russia. As later political strongmen said, protests are useless for thousands of times. As long as strategic bombers take off once, they are enough to deter the other side. Now, this is true. The protests from Britain and Russia will not pose any threat to the empire. The empire's military power is enough to defend the interests of the empire.

After the destruction of the Kokhan Khanate, the 2nd Army of the Imperial Army did not stop the attack. The 2nd Army's Southern Army remained in the Kokhan Khanate to stabilize the situation here, while the 2nd Army's Northern Army began to go westward, preparing to destroy the remaining two Khanate.

Before the Northern Route Army of the Imperial Army's 2nd Army sent troops, the intelligence personnel of the Imperial Military Intelligence Bureau had already taken action first. Colonel Niu Zhiyang had appeared in Bukhara, the capital of the Bukhara Khanate.

The Bukhara Khanate was a powerful country established by the Uzbeks in the Central Asian River. At its peak, the entire Central Asia was under their control. However, now, the national strength of the Bukhara Khanate has declined, and the area under control has decreased significantly, with a population of only more than 2.5 million. At first, the Bukhara Khanate established the capital of the Central Asian region, Samarkand, and later moved its capital to Bukhara.

The destruction of the Kokhan Khanate by the Imperial Army brought great shock to the neighboring Bukhana Khanate. Even the Kokhan Khanate is no match for the Imperial Army, let alone the relatively weaker Bukhanate.

Colonel Niu Zhiyang is in Bukhara.

"His Majesty Khan, the Khanate of the Kokhanate has been destroyed. There is only one way before the Bukhanate Khanate, which is to surrender to the empire. Otherwise, when the imperial army arrives, the outcome of the Bukhanate Khanate will be exactly the same as that of the Kokhanate!" Colonel Niu Zhiyang was full of confidence, and the Imperial Army quickly destroyed the Kokhanate Khanate, which gave him great confidence.

, If the Chinese Empire had tried every effort to make excuses to attack the Kokhan Khanate, then this time, the Chinese Empire would not hide their ambitions at all.

"Your Excellency, the Bukhara Khanate has always respected the Chinese Empire and has never offended the Chinese Empire. Why do you impose war on the Khanate?"

"His Majesty Khan, there is no way to do this. The empire needs the entire Central Asia to strengthen the empire's strategic deployment for the future. Therefore, the Bukhara Khanate must perish! The only difference is that His Majesty Khanate takes the initiative to surrender to the empire or the imperial army to destroy the Bukhara Khanate. There is an essential difference between the two. If the Khanate takes the initiative to surrender, although the Bukhara Khanate will no longer exist, your life and property will be guaranteed. You will even be allowed to live in the rich cities of the empire. If you refuse, when the empire's army destroys the Bukhara Khanate, your life and property will not be guaranteed!" Although Colonel Niu Zhiyang had a smile on his face, the meaning of the words.

The meaning of the Chinese Empire is very clear. If they surrender, they, the Khans and the powerful, can have a way out. If they resist, they will be dead.

, however, he knew that the Bukhara Khanate could not bear the consequences.

"Your Excellency, please wait for two days. After I discuss with the ministers, I will give you another reply!".

"Okay, Your Majesty Khan. However, don't try to delay the time. The imperial army has already marched towards the Bukhara Khanate again. Our patience is limited!" Colonel Niu Zhiyang warned. (To be continued)
